PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Nick Castellanos hit a grand slam, Zack Wheeler pitched six strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies completed a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays with an 11-4 victory Sunday.<\/p>\n
Alec Bohm also went deep and Otto Kemp had four hits and two RBIs for Philadelphia, which has won five of six.<\/p>\n
Ernie Clement had three hits and Will Robertson, making his major league debut, had one of three RBIs for Toronto.<\/p>\n
Wheeler (7-2) allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out nine and walking none. Philadelphia\u2019s ace right-hander fanned the side in both the second and third innings.<\/p>\n
The Phillies gave Wheeler early support, with Trea Turner leading off with a double on the game\u2019s first pitch and scoring on the game\u2019s second pitch when Kyle Schwarber singled off Jos\u00e9 Berr\u00edos (2-3). Philadelphia tagged Toronto\u2019s right-hander for six runs on nine hits in 4 2\/3 innings. Berr\u00edos had surrendered just one earned run over 18 2\/3 innings in his last three starts.<\/p>\n
Castellanos broke the game open in the sixth by belting an 85-mph slider over the wall in left, giving the Phillies a 10-2 cushion with his seventh homer of the season.<\/p>\n
Key moment<\/p>\n
Blue Jays left fielder Alan Roden robbed Castellanos of extra bases in the fifth with a stellar catch in which Roden went head first into the left-field wall. It appeared as if Roden\u2019s eye black left a mark on the padded wall. Roden lay on the ground for a short time but stayed in the game.<\/p>\n
Key stat<\/p>\n
.345: Kemp\u2019s batting average in eight games since getting called up June 7 to fill in for injured slugger Bryce Harper (wrist).<\/p>\n
